Guitarfish is an intimate camping and music experience in a magical setting;
over a mile high, in the woods, on the South Fork of the Yuba River,
at the Cisco Grove Campground. This year was the 8th annual and I have gone every year except one.

Set in the stunning Sierras at Cisco Grove campground, the festival also provides an enchanting setting to enjoy the South Yuba river, hiking, world class mountain and road biking, towering trees, and starry skies. Emphasizing the importance of water, Guitarfish works in partnership with non-profits to educate on the issues of overfishing and water pollution, promoting water conservation and preservation of clean oceans and watersheds, with a portion of proceeds going towards such. Guitarfish aims to provide a direction for positive change to sustain and maintain healthy watersheds, rivers, streams, lakes and oceans and to preserve all living beings that depend on it. Coming together to honor this big blue ball we all call home feeds the magic.
This year I camped with a group of friends who also love music. We had a great little camp set up in the shade. This is us at the music. 
If you get to hot you can just mosey on down to the beautiful Yuba river for a cool down .
And you may even see one of the musicians strumming a few tunes down there.
Sometimes there are impromptu parades led by some of the musicians !!!
Guitarfish is also very family oriented with things going on all day long for children. There is a children’s camp with painting, drumming, learning.
I have been to quite a few music festivals in my time and this is one of my favorites, for the pureness of the people , the camaraderie , the music. You feel like you have made a couple thousand new friends by the end of the weekend.
All in all it was a very special time with very special people that left me feeling happy and fulfilled !
